WOW!
I have been so busy the past month and Decom was just one of the things that I left simmering on the back burner.
There's too much to catch up on, but thanks to those of you who posted the MD letter and the BOT letter, I've skimmed a bit and got caught up to speed. Looks like we had a troll war here too. Glad I missed that!
I just want to say, it's okay to lick wounds for awhile and rest. To the victims, my heart is with you. And to the collateral damage, the GCx members who are now sitting there saying, now what, I just want to say, sometimes it's okay to just let go. That's what we did when we left. I'm so happy we did. It's also okay to stay and try to make things better. Whatever you choose, that's okay. We have a heck of a lot more freedom than some would like us to think, and we have more freedom than some want to give us, and we have more freedom than some even give themselves.
Reinvention, transformation, healing, hope, good lives, growth--- this is all possible to every single person here. That is the heart of the gospel message. Transformation from one side into the other. From dark to light. From sadness to joy. From no hope to lots of hope. Throughout personal crisis in my own life, this message has never been clearer:
Jesus Christ is our hope. And our goal should be to bring the "up there" to "down here."
My month or so break has restored me, and God has worked miracles from my view. While things aren't perfect (um, it appears not at all perfect), change is happening, change HAS happened, and wow, I never ever dreamed the outcome would be what it is.
God has promised that the bad stuff doesn't have to be the end. That's what I'm holding on to, here, and in my own life.
I want to send lots of love to everyone here.
